He needs to know how many would want to attend to make sure the venue is large enough to cater for the decending masses that will ensue, and most importantly where you lovely people are geographically within the UK.

This will help us choose a spot to allow most people who wish to attend to be within reasonable travelling distances of the chosen Venue.

This could be the only chance Jimmy makes it over to the UK for such an event and we need to make it the very best it can be.

The date to be confirmed at this stage but "

Be Careful what you wish for- still want to get closer?

This Russian photographer got more than just a close up.

The baby leopard decided to jump up to the roof of the car to this photogs position

He looks thrilled (I think)


Later on it seems the Big Cat wanted to inspect the images and the content of his kit back.

Perhaps he thought he was a police officer in the UK and wanted to check his stuff under anti terrorism law?

Who knows, but rest assured I would not like to be in this situation either!!

Steve Jobs Pitches Cupertino on Stunning New Apple Campus

Late last year it was revealed that Apple purchased a 98-acre campus from Hewlett Packard, just up I-280 in Cupertino. Last night, Apple CEO Steve Jobs, in trademark black turtleneck and jeans, explained Apple's plans for the space to the Cupertino City Council. Here's what the new 4-story building holding 12,000 employees will look like when it's completed in 2015: 


As Steve describes it:


"It's a pretty amazing building. It's a little like a spaceship landed. It's got this gorgeous courtyard in the middle... It's a circle. It's curved all the way around. If you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There is not a straight piece of glass in this building. It's all curved. We've used our experience making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use. And, we want to make the glass specifically for this building here. We can make it curve all the way around the building... It's pretty cool.
The facility will be 80% landscaping, with most of the parking underground, compared to 20% landscaping with all above ground parking currently. The current campus has 3,700 trees and Apple plans to increase that to more than 6,000 trees, including "some apricot orchards." 

Apple also plans to build its own energy generation facility using natural gas, with the electricity grid as a backup. 

One of the city councilors asked what the citizens of Cupertino would get from the new campus, and in particular brought up a free Wi-Fi network, like Google offers in Mountain View. Steve responded that Apple was the largest taxpayer in Cupertino and he felt that the tax benefits to having a company like Apple in Cupertino was benefit enough and the city should be providing a service like that. 

"If we can get out of paying taxes, we would be glad to provide free Wi-Fi.
